Summary:
The 74126 zip code area in Tulsa, Oklahoma is home to 3 underperforming schools - 2 elementary schools (Tulsa Legacy Elementary School and John Hope Franklin Elementary School) and 1 high school (McLain High School For Science And Technical). These schools consistently struggle across a variety of metrics, including very low proficiency rates in core subjects, high chronic absenteeism, and below-average graduation rates.
Test scores at all three schools are alarmingly low, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science falling far below Tulsa and Oklahoma state averages. For example, at McLain High School, only 7% of 11th graders were proficient in ELA and 4% in Math, compared to state averages of 37% and 18% respectively. The elementary schools also struggle, with Tulsa Legacy Elementary having 10-16% proficiency rates and John Hope Franklin Elementary having 0-6% proficiency rates.
These schools serve predominantly low-income communities, with 90.91% to 96.84% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, the schools operate with limited resources, as evidenced by below-average per-student spending and high student-teacher ratios. The combination of socioeconomic challenges and resource constraints likely contributes to the consistently poor academic performance observed across these schools over time.
